Fog computing and its role in the internet of things
5,981 Citations2012Flavio Bonomi, Rodolfo Milito +2 more
This paper argues that the above characteristics make the Fog the appropriate platform for a number of critical Internet of Things services and applications, namely, Connected Vehicle, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, and, in general, Wireless Sensors and Actuators Networks (WSANs).
Fog Computing: Platform and Applications
798 Citations2015Shanhe Yi, Zijiang Hao +2 more
This paper discussed current definitions of fog computing and similar concepts, and proposed a more comprehensive definition, analyzed the goals and challenges in fog computing platform, and presented platform design with several exemplar applications.
ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems ReviewThe Akamai network
721 Citations2010Erik Nygren, Ramesh K. Sitaraman +1 more
An overview of the components and capabilities of the Akamai platform is given, and some insight into its architecture, design principles, operation, and management is offered.
Networked Systems Design and ImplementationDemystifying page load performance with WProf
195 Citations2013Xiao Sophia Wang, Aruna Balasubramanian +2 more
This work presents WProf, a lightweight in-browser profiler that produces a detailed dependency graph of the activities that make up a page load, and finds that computation is a significant factor that makes up as much as 35% of the critical path, and that synchronous JavaScript plays a significant role in page load time by blocking HTML parsing.
IEEE/ACM Transactions on NetworkingDrafting Behind Akamai: Inferring Network Conditions Based on CDN Redirections
144 Citations2009Ao-Jan Su, David Choffnes +2 more
This research shows that in more than 50% of investigated scenarios, it is better to route through the nodes recommended by Akamai than to use the direct paths, and develops low-overhead pruning algorithms that avoidAkamai-driven paths when they are not beneficial.
ComputerOnline Experiments: Lessons Learned
136 Citations2007Ron Kohavi, Roger Longbotham
The Web provides an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate proposed changes or new features quickly using controlled experiments, which generate insights that can bring a quick return on investment and promote innovation.
Edgecomputing
124 Citations2004Anna Davis, Jagdish Parikh +1 more
The current implementation of Akamai EdgeComputing supports application programming platforms such as Java 2 Enterprise Edition and Microsoft's .NET Framework, in large part because they make it easier to address some of the challenges of implementing a distributed application service on the Internet's edge.
IEEE Internet ComputingAnalysis of Caching and Replication Strategies for Web Applications
104 Citations2007Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Guillaume Pierre +2 more
The authors present a qualitative and quantitative analysis of state-of-the art replication and caching techniques used to host Web applications and propose a technique for Web practitioners to compare different mechanisms' performance on their own.
Content delivery and the natural evolution of DNS
99 Citations2012John S. Otto, Mario A. Sánchez +2 more
It is found that remote DNS usage can indeed significantly impact client's web performance and that the proposed solution, if available, can effectively address the problem for most clients.

55 Citations2009Jayashree Ravi, Zhifeng Yu +1 more
This paper examines the dynamic characteristics of Web applications and the inherent challenges for caching, followed by the analysis of how different caching solutions fit Web applications of different characteristics and ends with the future trends on Web caching technique.
Silo: exploiting JavaScript and DOM storage for faster page loads
22 Citations2010James Mickens
Like standard inlining, Silo reduces the number of HTTP requests; however, it facilitates finer-grained caching, since each chunk corresponds to a small piece of JavaScript or CSS.
Characterizing and Mitigating Web Performance Bottlenecks in Broadband Access Networks
9 Citations2013Srikanth Sundaresan, Nazanin Magharei +2 more
It is found that, as the connection speeds of broadband networks continue to increase, other factors such as TCP connection setup time, server response time, and network latency are often dominant performance bottlenecks.
